TR19 inspection for kitchens and businesses in Warninglid
Not every kitchen fits neatly into a calendar. Some kitchens build up grease faster than the minimum intervals assume, and only measurement shows it. We give your risk assessment measured figures rather than guesses. We are often asked to deal with kitchens taken over with no cleaning records and insurance renewals needing proof of TR19 cleaning, on access surveys, wet film thickness tests and insurer audits.
Somewhere as small as Warninglid, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. So every job comes with a written report and photos, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What else we do in Warninglid
What staff can safely do
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
How we price TR19 inspection
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- The scale of the work
- The condition we find in the survey
- A single visit or a regular plan
You will not find a price list here, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, and we will explain what it covers.
Helping us quote
Many jobs can be priced from pictures and some basics. Useful things to send:
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Any previous report or certificate
- A few general shots of the system
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
Quotes are quick. Send a few details and photos, and we usually reply with a fixed quote within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
What happens on the day
There are three stages on the day: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, and the sign-off is a written report with pictures. The middle part takes longest, which takes an hour or two for a single kitchen, longer for a large or complex system. Somewhere like Warninglid, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- The visit is arranged for when the kitchen isn’t busy.
- The system is checked from canopy to discharge.
- We take WFTT or DTT readings at set points along the system.
- Photos are taken at each point, and access gaps noted.
- The findings go into a report with readings, pictures and a recommended next clean.
How to prepare
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Move anything stored near the system
How to get a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.

Warninglid questions
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Warninglid?
Fire safety enforcement in Warninglid is handled by West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
Do you cover smaller places like Warninglid?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Warninglid is covered. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
What is a WFTT or DTT grease test?
Grease thickness testing measures the layer of grease on the duct surfaces, by WFTT or DTT. The results are given in microns.
How much notice should we give?
For planned work, earlier is better, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.
Which sectors do you work in?
Commercial premises of every kind: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. We fit the work around how the site operates.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and we’ll quote them together.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. Photos often do the job, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
How long does a TR19 inspection take?
Testing takes a morning or less for one kitchen, more where there are several systems. Sites with several canopies take longer, and you can call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email to book it in.
Kitchen extracts in Warninglid
Kitchens in Warninglid get their food hygiene inspections from Mid Sussex council. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. Warninglid is about 34 miles from central London, well within the area we cover across London and the South East. The visit is fixed around your opening hours, not ours.
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as The Dene Hospital (about 3.9 miles south), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands. If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Tyes Place is about 1.8 miles north-east), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning.
Warninglid is about 4 miles west of Haywards Heath, in West Sussex. Wherever you are in the RH17 postcode area, we can carry out TR19 inspection at your premises. Our West Sussex coverage runs to 371 places, Warninglid among them. We also work in Brighton, about 13 miles from Warninglid.
All of RH17 is covered for TR19 inspection, from busy streets to back roads. Local streets include The Street, Staplefield Lane and Orchard Way, and we cover them all for TR19 inspection. Close by, we work in Slough Green (1 mile east), Staplefield (1 mile north-east), Whitemans Green (2 miles east), Brook Street (2 miles east) and Cuckfield (3 miles east). Further out, we also cover Crawley (6 miles north), Horsham (6 miles north-west), Haywards Heath (4 miles east), Burgess Hill (5 miles south-east), East Grinstead (11 miles north-east) and Shoreham-by-Sea (13 miles south).
Local landmarks in Warninglid
The closest station to Warninglid is Balcombe station, about 3.6 miles north-east of the centre. Other landmarks nearby include The Dene Hospital (3.9 miles south) and Cuckfield Museum (2.4 miles east). Green spaces nearby include Blunts Wood and Paiges Meadow.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We’re happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
Aftercare tips
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. Our tips:
- Send TR19 audit reports to your insurer on request
- Book the next test on the date in the report
- Report grease dripping from the canopy
- Clean grease off the canopy between professional cleans
If any reading is 500 microns or more, the report flags it for immediate spot cleaning, and we can arrange it.
Keep certificates, reports and readings in one place so you can produce them quickly.
How the job changes from site to site
Vertical risers
Vertical risers take the extract up through the floors. Grease can run down and collect at the base, so we check there.
Horizontal duct runs
Sections without access are recorded so panels can be added.
